My husband is in the process of finishing his project... A food and water stand for Gunther. He did better than I thought he would as it's actually a box and I can fit the little dogs stuff right inside/under the box. He has to finish sanding it and then varnish it before we can put it to use and take pictures but I'll show them when they're done. My husband has never been a wood worker, it's a new hobby so I won't say it's the most beautiful thing ever but he's making it out of love so I guess it is.

Please let me know how it turns out. I will be needing to secure it more firmly rather than the hooks because it's a little shaky but I wanted to be sure it worked first.

Good luck!

Exactly! I can raise the bowls as she grows. She's 4 months now and her momma was VERY tall so I'm sure those bowls will need to go up, up, up!

I saw that too but didn't try it. I figured Little Miss Einstein would still try to slide it around. Then I'd have water AND food to clean up!

haha probably hard to tell from the picture but it isn't a towel. Its a dish drying mat. Its does't scoot. Its made to not slip on your counter.

ZoeD, I thought so, too. Who knew a bowl of water could be so entertaining. Looking forward to spring so I can take her to the lake. She was born in November so hasn't ever seen the outside when it wasn't frozen. Will be fun!

That's a great idea! ! Zoe is also creative with her water dish. Silly me I thought water was for drinking... but apparently it's good for digging in, dribbling, flipping, carrying or even sitting/standing/sleeping in
